Research in the sleep lab has determined that the majority of our dreams are in color. Bob Van de Castle, a psychologist that studied dreams reported that when dreamers were awakened during a dream, distinct color was reported in 70% of the cases and vague color in another 13%. So why don’t we recall color in our dreams? Recalling color is likely subject to the same mechanisms as recalling any image in a dream, or remembering the dream at all. The sleep stage prior to waking might have something to do with color recall. Research says that people awakened from REM sleep report more colorful and story-like dreams, whereas people from non-REM state of sleep report more thought-like with little storyline or color. The nature or degree of our
The parents will monitor the child’s sleep habit at home and report back to the doctors the results. The parents will be given the option to place the child on medication due to the recent injury. The child will undergo an at home sleep monitoring study to see if there is more activity than what appeared at the hospital in the previous segment. Footage will reveal the parents taking shifts to monitor the child during the night to avoid injury and danger. The parents and the child will take about their fears of the possible dangers. Not only will the child be exhausted, but the parents, and siblings as well. The sibling will talk about the sounds the sibling would make during their sleepwalking actions.

The sleep assessment conducted on the patient had an interesting dynamic in how we think we sleep opposed to how our partner says we sleep. The patient wakes up every morning at 6 a.m. and takes a nap right after lunchtime approximately at 1 p.m. The daily naps, according to the patient, last about forty-five minutes to an hour. When asked about restlessness when waking up the patient with a stern voice and pointed finger says, "When I'm up I'm up and ready to go." The patient also explained that they have no trouble staying asleep; however going to sleep can be challenging depending on if anything troubling is on her mind.
I have completed the sleep assessment and I am not surprise with the outcome it gave me. The results showed that my sleep habits could be better. Some days are better than others, but generally, I do wake up drowsy and hitting my alarm clock once or twice. I admit, I usually stay up on my phone past midnight like any other young adult. If it is not my phone that is keeping me up at night, it’s usually my mind reminding me of all the stress that may be going on in my life.
Sleep researchers often attempt to uncover methods permitting humans to sleep less, but still function at an acceptable level. One example of researchers finding ways to cheat sleeping is the study of polyphasic sleep patterns. Research on polyphasic sleep patterns asserts that a person can break up their sleep into portions, thus having extra time to be productive. Articles that encourage polyphasic sleep also ambitiously play with the title’s diction, trying to spike interest, but instead misguides students to develop a delusion and assume sleep is unimportant. Even with scientists denouncing polyphasic sleeping as a myth, students still consider sleeping as a waste of time, and can be more productive by staying up all night doing homework. Although students misconceive that depriving sleep enhances work efficiency, not enough sleep is detrimental to health, because it stimulates loss of physical health and decreases brain function.
Tom is described by his mother to be a sound sleeper for the first 3 hours and usually falls asleep around 8PM watching television in her room. His father then transfers him to his own bed.

One of the most important living processes of a human body is the qualitative sleep. Many people do not have enough time to sleep well, or lose it because of the daily stress. Perhaps, most of them have tried different methods to make better this part of daily life, but not many do know about this easy and effective method. It can make miracles with the body health. It sounds impossible, to use only salt and sugar for better sleep, isn't it.
Studies have shown that sleep disturbances are extremely common in individuals that suffer from PTSD as well as those that suffer from primary insomnia. Although a few studies have been done separately that show the consequences of sleep disturbance in PTSD patients and Insomnia patients, there is little known about how they differ. Some sleep problems reported in PTSD are very similar to those of primary insomnia, but issues that are unique to PTSD suggest that conditions may be worse or different than they are for insomniacs. These additional factors may contribute to sleep variability more heavily due to the fact that it could cause sleep patterns to be unpredictable and different from patient to patient
Dreams have a lengthy record of being a subject for debate and a source of motivation. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs had several interpreters to decipher their dreams as they believed they were messages from the gods (Lincoln, 1935, p.68). The ancient Hebrews believed that their dreams were tied to divine revelations as well. Native American tribes believed that dreams were a connection to their ancestors and used obtaining a vision from a dream as a rite of passage (Tedlock, 1981, p.324). In the present day, every night all across the world, people still experience sequences of imagery encompassed by sensations and emotions while asleep. The average person tends to dream up to seven times a night
In Module 9 on the topic of Sleep and Dreams, was an interesting topic that was discussed in class as many people normally question why and how we dream. There isn’t a specific reason in how dreams are functioned but there are different interpretations and stereotypes that people think have meanings and others that don’t.

Researchers have shown that after we sleep we tend to retain information and perform better on memory tasks.

In the Lack of sleep may shrink your brain by Dr. Calire E.Sexton the hypothesis of the experiment or study is: to examine the relationship between sleep quality, cortical, hippocampal volume, and atrophy within the participants, explore the effect by comparing correlations between the different ages, body mass index, and blood pressure. The study involved 147 participants (92 females, 55 males) and each has different characteristics being measured during this experiment. The dependent variable was sleep quality of the adults being measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and correlated with volume and longitudinal measures of atrophy. The independent variables being the different age groups and included physical activity, body mass
